Thanks

I see there is one down in Waterford that is a 1430 and is supercharged! So to answer your question, yes it can be done.... But by the looks of it at a huge cost!

I came across this article this morning! I see some new penalty points are going to being effective from 1st May 5 points for driving without NCT 5 points for driving a car that is not road worthy 3 points for not fixing the fault uncovered in the NCT Source http://www.independent.ie/national-news/m...

That colour really works... The car looks a real minter

That's going to be one serious engine when you get it up and running... Looking forward to seeing it in the metal

I'm disgusted,

Just found out today that my exams are from the 18th May to the 29th May. On top of that i had a "ahem" significant birthday on the 24th May. Oh well, as Johnny Logan said... What's another year! I'm jealous of all yee buggers going already

I'd be interested in this run as I won't be able to attend MTM with exams - Can you get a price on the ferry from Roslare/Dublin

Some of the Jap imports come with the back window wiper, It the funniest thing ever. I believe it's the wiper motor out of a metro, Works really well.

I actually like it as a feature!!!

hi its just that the bawk ring on second gear is worn have the same on my mini like you i am used of it It's the Bawk Ring alright,does the engine have to be removed to get to the part Will it not cause long term damage?

Guys, I'm looking for some advice... My 00 Cooper has MPI type cols and SPI throttle body (Jap imports). I have a stage 3 head, Maniflow manifold & Link pipe. Nothing to outrageous I have always had the slightest problem with the gearbox from I got the car. If I change down quickly from 3rd to 2...

Don't forget to bring the camera with you... Love to see the GTM in more detail ....

I really can decide on this one... but by the sounds of your first post you have your decision made. I'd love to see a GTM Coupe in person. How small are they inside? They are one funky car for sure. Silly question here but what is on the log book with a GTM, will in be subject to classic insurance ...

Great little review, What is it about tall people and minis... :lol: Good luck with the car, there's some really knowledgeable people in here that is more than happy to help out with any questions.

I have an MPI and I must say I don't have any problems with economy, What i did find is that i am stopping at the filling stations a little more regularly than used to, this was simply because of the smaller tank.On average i struggle to get any more than €20 into the tank. So I think the extra fuel...

Hi,

I'm interested in a price for the Yokohama 165/55 R12 A048

If the price is right it may be a runner

Do you need a commitment or are you able to get a price first?

John,

That's a super job... It's like a showroom spec

Expect a pm looking for guidance...

This is one even I'm not going to miss.

It'll be the longest run out my lady ever had, but I'm sure she's up to it!

May be needing a co-driver - Birthday celebrations will be taking place that weekend.

Weather permitting I'll be there on the day.

Fingers crossed lads !
